    No only is process not transparent, but one has to pay an arm and a leg to learn about the process. Then, you pay LSAC for tests and then to send your reports to colleges. it feels like extortion. For families that have money, ok. But, I am like most. Going paycheck tp paycheck.

    I'm wondering how personal I can get with my personal story? One of my professors told me not to write a sob story, so I wrote about a pigeon I saved. It was lame, I thought, but I got the scholarship and later went on to rehabilitate animals for five years.

      I’ve heard it’s good to be creative. Writing a personal story vs a sob story is different. Perhaps your life contains a tragic event that has defined you. Well in that case why not talk about it? You just don’t wanna give it a pity me tone

    Took my nursing boards and CRNA boards on the computer. The only issue is that everyone is taking a different exam, so it can be distracting.

      You should only be paying attention to your test.

    Does she say anything on race? Are URM applicants judged against other URM applicants in some weighted way, compared to just being compared to the whole applicant pool?

      URM students can get significantly lower test scores and gpas to get into the same schools as their non-urm counterparts. I don’t think it’s so much that a urm is weighed only against another urm per se, it’s more so that being able to check the URM box gives you a significant amount of leniency for your grades and test scores

      Most people don't. There are lots of things that are just out of our control, and luck is one of those things that legitimately influences whether or not you get in.
